Springtime is one of the best season to start anew as parks and meadows turn into greens you can literally feel that fresh vibe is in the air. And while the weather is at its best homeowners often find this season suited for that one-off rinse of their entire home. And though most of us want to indulge in spring cleaning not everyone have enough time for it.

But not having enough time doesn’t mean we’ll give up the idea of spring cleaning. Here are some simple and practical steps you can implement to de-clutter your home and have it spring fresh clean.

#1 Keep, Give Away and Throw Away

There is a pretty simple rule to follow to de-clutter your home with unnecessary items you keep, it is called six months rule. Identify the things that you haven’t used for the past six months except the seasonal items and clothing. Once you identified these items you can not decide whether to give them away to someone who can use them or you can throw them away. You might be surprised that you are keeping too much items that are not necessary.

#2 Overhaul Your Closet

You might fondly collecting different outfits depending on trends and season, and organizing your wardrobe might be difficult challenge. But we can simplify this challenging task by breaking down your wonderful array of outfits into clothes into seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter.

And finally you can now set aside the clothes that are out of season and organize the ones that are suitable on your day-to-day use. You can now arrange your wardrobe by color to make sure that you can easily find your favorite pieces.

#3 Deep Carpet Cleaning

Carpet cleaning is one of the vital part of spring cleaning as we all know it’s not everyday that we take that extra care for our carpet. A deep clean will help restore the carpet’s colour and texture. And it also make our home safer for our family as deep cleaning specially hot water extraction method takes care of the dust mites that are very harmful to our health.

#4 Clean Your Oven While Sleeping

Oven cleaning can be tricky and intimidating especially in a very busy kitchen. But believe it or not one of the most effective solution to sticky oven is also hidden in our kitchen. Bicarbonate soda is like a magic dust for oven cleaning. Just mix water, bicarbonate soda and small amount of dish-washing liquid in a spray bottle. Spray the solution on the interior surfaces of your oven, avoiding the heating elements, leave it overnight and wipe clean the next day. If any soda remains, spray with vinegar to remove it. But of course, there are stains that requires more advance approach so leave that to experts like Perfect Clean technicians.

#5 Freshen Up Your Bed

I know how comforting it is to sleep in your bed with a familiar scent but a soft and fresh duvet is like a bonus on your way to lalaland. And you can achieve it with the help of our magic dust – bicarbonate soda – and vinegar. Soak your bed sheets with your bicarbonate soda and vinegar solution to get rid of any lingering odours. Rinse them thoroughly to remove the vinegar smell before using.

You can also use our magic dust to deodorise your mattress. Sprinkle them over your bed and leave for up to eight hours, then vacuum up any excess powder.

#6 Make Your Bathroom Spotless Overnight

This may sound like a tagline of an scam but unlike those empty promises intended to trick you, this one is doable. Limescale is notoriously difficult to remove and a thought of it makes it seems impossible to clean your bathroom while sleeping.

But how it is done is pretty simple, all you need to do is spray vinegar and leave it to get to work. For shower-heads, simply fill a bag with white vinegar and tie it around the head, leave it to break down the limescale overnight. To avoid smelling strongly of vinegar, make sure to ventilate your bathroom where possible.

It’s February once again and being married for seven years this month becomes a “Couple Challenge Month” for me. Why? Because as we, me and my husband, count years together we’ve gone through different places for dates and vacation and we’ve given each other all sorts of presents as we celebrate birthdays, Christmas, new year, Thanksgiving and anniversaries together. So I am often caught off guard when being asked “what will you do for Valentine’s?”, because I always challenge myself to think for a better idea or for something new that will excite my husband. And to be honest it is not an easy task to come up with something new, practical and yet heartwarming.

Thankfully I stumbled upon a good book by Gary Chapman titled “The 5 Love Languages” and in that book, I learned people speak different love languages. It can be words of affirmation, quality time, receiving gifts, acts of service or physical touch. We communicate and define love on our own love language, however, the secret of a happy and lasting relationship is knowing the love language of your partner and be willing to “speak” with it clearly.

Looking back on our seven years of marriage I try to assess myself, what makes me really happy, and I realized that I am always on my best mood whenever me and my husband spend some quality time together. It doesn’t really matter where we are, I am totally fine even if we’re just at home as long I don’t need to worry about cleaning up the clutter around the house.

My husband’s love language, on the other hand, is an act of service. He always wears a big smile whenever I cook for him and when I prepare everything he needs before leaving to work. So it turns out that we are still compatible because our love languages both need time and that sincerity to spend it with each other undisturbed by our other responsibilities.

Let me just share with you a trick that I learned over the years, a trick that can buy you more time to spend with your partner and do things that will make you both happy and your relationship stronger. Hire a house cleaner. Based on studies an average household spends at least 20 hours a week, 80 hours a month or 960 hours a year for basic household cleaning so imagine that 40 days in a year that can be spent for a memorable vacation with your hubby.

But of course, others might argue valid concerns like safety and cost. That is why it is important to hire a dependable home cleaning partner like Perfect Clean. They have established their reputation in the industry so they can guarantee you quality service and safety. And for the cost, let me just ask you, if you will to choose a gift for your partner between an expensive item that he can use or a gift that will give you time to create priceless memories together?

The choice is still yours but as for me, I’m over and done with something new, practical and yet heartwarming because I realized that what will make me and my husband really happy is that precious time we can spend taking care of each other in the comfort of our perfectly clean home.
